Fort Collins Sports Massage for the "Chronic Athlete"When's your next race?Why Sports Massage for Athletes?? Fort Collins Sports Massage is a necessity. The athletes are outnumbered in Fort Collins only by the population of canines. Running, biking, tennis, yoga, golfing, all very popular here with our 300+ days of sun a year, all take their toll on our bodies. Sports injuries abound among full time athletes and weekend warriors in Fort Collins and Sports Massage can help keep you on the road! From head to toe, these sports injuries cause breaks in training schedules, pain and discomfort. Runners experience plantar fasciitis frequently, or other foot pain from the repetitive movement and pounding, as well as knee pain, hip pain (pain in the butt too!), low back pain and other leg pain. Amazingly, in Fort Collins sports massage therapists working with long distance cyclists, lots of Iron Man Competitors, we've found their biggest complaint to be neck pain, particularly when riding in aerobars for long periods of time! Behind neck pain in cyclists, the knee pain, hip pain and low back pain come in about even. Golfers experience about even instances of low back pain and arm pain, of course you've heard of golfer's elbow! Then there's the other major elbow injuring activity...tennis! Tennis, particularly when played aggressively, is the king of sports injuries...it will be the cause of low back pain, knee pain, and hand pain, which is frequently an extension of the issue with the muscles of the forearm, also the cause of that notorious sports injury, tennis elbow. Swimming is rarely a reason for an emergency visit, unless there is a shoulder issue involved...which structurally sometimes leads to chronic neck pain. Fort Collins Sports Massage also helps out with pain in the hips and legs from horseback riding, arm and shoulder injuries, particularly rotator cuff injuries, which are VERY common from playing baseball or softball, and numerous other sports injuries or athletic challenges.
